Re: [stunnel-users] Amount of FD's per connection

I am using stunnel compiled to use threads. I read in the faq that a connection may use 1 to 4 fd's per connection. Normally this is only one, how can I influence this, I mean making sure there is one fd per connection? I also wish to limit the amount of max connections at the same time.

Normally there are only two file descriptors used by each thread: one for the sockets towards the client and one for the socket towards the server. Additional descriptors may be used at creating of a new connection, e.g. to perform OCSP check or to validate username with ident protocol.
